Brennen set another appointment with the receptionist while Parker signed Sully's cast. As Brennen made her way back to the group she received jealous glances from nurses as she walked by, obviously referring to Booth. Booth helped her into her jacket and they made their way out of the building towards Booth's SUV. Booth smiled as he saw the sun glance off of Brennen's hair and couldn't help but admire how beautiful she was.
Booth had parallel parked on the curb and was using one of the buttons on his car keys to unlock the door when he heard a scream. "GET DOWN!" Booth glanced back in time to see Sully grab Parker and pull him down behind the car as Booth slide tackled Brennen in a way that she landed on top of him. Booth leaned over so he was shielding the whole group. Sully closed her eyes and pressed her body against Booth's car.
Her. They were after Her. What did Rob get himself into? These were people she had grown to care about. She had known them a day and already they had opened their home to her, fed her actually cared for her. These people were genuinely kind. They weren't faking it like the others they were real and now someone, who she didn't even know were attacking them? This wasn't right. She felt a shift in the people around her and felt Booth loosen his grip on the group. "Everybody okay?" He asked breathlessly. Parker wide eyed simply nodded and nestled even more into Brennen shoulder. Booth nodded and started to slowly rise from their hiding place behind the car. Booth was just about to speak again when they heard sirens blaring. Soon police cars filled the area and ambulances pulled up near the battered SUV.
Booth looked on at his black SUV that now had one side covered in bullet holes. His government issued car was now being used as a shooting target. Nobody was hurt in the shooting which was a good thing but the fact that they seemed to be looking for someone bothered him. Sully. The poor kid, they must be after her. First she finds her brother dead and now there coming after her. He wouldn't let that happen, if Sully hadn't alerted them someone could of gotten seriously hurt. He owed Sully his life and he was going to catch the person who had murdered her Brother and tried to kill her. He looked around and saw Bones walking toward him, he knew that she too would help kill this murderer on the loose. Bones walked up to Booth who was staring sadly at his ruined car. "Booth..." He turned to look at the women he truly loved.
"Ya, Bones we should probably be going to the Jeffersonian." Booth glanced at his son who was using a stretcher as a bench and was sitting next to Sully. They both looked shaken, at least they would be safe at the Jeffersonian. Brennen walked over to him and hugged him, burying her face in his chest. She felt his wrap his strong arms around her and pull her closer to himself, he dropped a kiss in her hair and hugged her closer.
Charlie was working on his current case when we got an urgent message saying that he was to immediately pick up Special Agent Booth and Doctor Brennen from the hospital. He didn't understand when the message also added that their would be two children with them. He had heard the rumors that Doctor Brennen had asked Booth if she could have his baby. He knew that Booth was head over heals in love with Doctor Brennen, hell everybody knew it. It was a miracle that they themselves missed it. Dr. Brennen could be cold and clinical on the outside but if you were to see the two while they were getting lunch together, like they did almost everyday, you would see that she indeed cared very much about Booth. Charlie remembered once when Brennen was all dresses up getting ready for a date, she looked great, beautiful in every way. She had come into the Hoover building to drop off some paper work from a body in Limbo as the squints call it. Booth had barely left his office that day, filling out paper work and his eyes lit up when she just walked into the room. He jumped up accidently knocking a can of soda over spilling it over the edge of his desk. He acted like a nervous teenager. Booth, the alpha male agent, acting like a love struck teenager, yes sir it was a sight for sore eyes. He of course recovered asking Brennen were she was going, apparently Booth didn't like the guy because the smile in his eyes instantly died. Brennen put the papers on his desk and said good night, leaving Booth standing in the doorway. Charlie snapped out of his memory as he weaved through the police cars that had gathered around the hospital. He pulled up in time to see Booth kiss Brennen's hair. Charlie parked the new SUV and made his way over to where Booth and Brennen seemed to be inspecting the damage from where the bullets hit the car.
"Hey Booth what happened here?" Charlie looked around at the gathering crowd. "What's Parker doing here, whose the other kid?" Booth stood up to his full height towering over Charlie.
"There was a shooting and Dr. Brennen and I," he paused, "along with Parker and Sully need to get to the Jeffersonian."
"Thats fine Booth but, when did Sully get back in D.C I thought he was off galavanting on his boat somewhere." Charlie knew he had said the wrong thing when he saw Booth's pupils dilate and Brennen stiffen next to him. Booth's voice was little more than a growl when he spoke again.
"Not Agent Sullivan, Sully. She is the girl we found in the woods." Charlie swallowed nervously and coughed.
"Yes, well lets get everybody in the car." Charlie clapped his palms together in a nervous gesture and looked at the ground. Brennen nodded and walked over to where Parker and Sully were sitting. Booth let out an exasperated sigh and slouched against the bullet hole-riddled car.
"You okay?" Charlie asked.
"Ya...it's just Bones and everybody and..." Booth stopped talking and stood up strait, Charlie followed his gaze Dr. Temperance Brennen holding Parker's hand with a blonde teen at her side. Charlie looked back and Booth and laughed.
"Still courting the notorious Dr. Brennen?" Booth turned to look at Charlie with a surprised look on his face.
"What!?" Booth spun around when he heard his name being called by Parker who came hurdling at him and wrapped his arms around him in a bear hug. Booth glanced quickly up at Charlie and sent him a look that said, Keep your mouth shut and you won't be hurt, Charlie nodded and motioned the group towards his car.
The SUV was full to the brim with Booth riding shotgun, Charlie driving, Parker riding in the middle, and the girls near the windows. Booth glanced in the mirror and saw Parker nestle against Brennen and start to look tired. He couldn't blame the kid, it had been a trying day. For Booth and Brennen getting shot at was relatively normal but it still left them shaken. Booth smiled at Bones, his Bones, through the mirror and was relieved, when for once she didn't ask why she couldn't drive.
